About two hours ago, Nintendo of America made an announcement via Twitter:

“We’ve got some news to share 2nite around 8:30pm PT. Be sure to check back to get the latest!”

Additionally, Nintendo of America made a similar announcement via Facebook:

“Wondering how you’ll understand tonight’s Nintendo Direct since it’s all in Japanese? Don’t worry, we’ll be sharing North American related announcements (in English). Check back here and on our @NintendoAmerica Twitter around 8:30 PM PT to get all the news.”
